Is this something you'd like to continue to do? I'm sure there are positions
around, but I doubt you can live off the wages.

Yeah, if you don't mind working in the ever-expanding fast food
industry...

Another elitist comment. I have tremendous respect for kids and adults
who
choose to make themselves productive and work summers, evenings, and
weekends in McDonalds, etc. Why do you show disrespect for people who
choose to work in less-than-optimal jobs, rather than sit around
worthlessly? If a person works, he has my respect.

Thank you. McDonalds 1964-67. It was considered honorable work back
then. Certainly, no one working with me considered it a career, but
the experience was valuable. The concept of building on the
opportunity in front of you seems to be lost today, primarily because
kids are ridiculed for taking such jobs.

It was not covered by minimum wage back then. I made sixty-five cents
an hour for most of that time.

What part of building on the opportunity in front of you did you not
understand? Do you think that everyone who takes an entry level job
is destined to stay there forever.

From McDonalds I learned that I had to come to work on time, clean and
neatly dressed. I learned that I had to be polite to the customers,
even those who were rude to me. I learned that I could take it a
little easy during the slow times but had to step it up during the
rush. I learned that it was a low margin, competitive business, and I
had to be effiicient and effective and couldn't waste supplies. My
boss, the store manager, was the hardest worker I have ever known. He
ended up owning that location and several others, and quite wealthy.

Those are all valuable lessons, that if you learn them, you get to
move up in the economic system.

Do you not understand how that works?

And there were people living off of those wages, which adjusted for
inflation is less than what fast food pays today. Of course of what
"live" means has changed

Frank,

I think you are wasting your energy.

He can't understand what you are talking about.

Thanks for the insult, but it doesn't change whether you can or can't
understand what Frank is talking about.

You're right. It doesn't change whether or not I understand what Frank is
talking about.
